Three men were charged recently in connection to the theft of a large safe that contained firearms from a home in the town of Paris nearly one year ago, state police said Monday.

The following were charged with second-degree burglary: William Santana, 42, of Chadwicks; Glenn Bland, 21, of Utica; and Jordan Moore, 19, of Utica.

The Mohawk Street home burglary occurred on Dec. 25, which prompted a year-long investigation with assistance from state Parole, the Oneida County Sheriff's Office and the police departments in New Hartford and Utica.

A number of the stolen firearms have been recovered, but some are still missing, police said. Anyone who may have unknowingly purchased one of these stolen firearms or who has information concerning this burglary is asked to contact either Senior Investigator Michael Hulihan or Investigator Brett Vanderlan at state police in Marcy.
